Influential Women in the Book of Acts

As the church grew and began to spread, the influence of many women are recorded in the book of Acts. These women were integral to the development of this new church. Because of the work of the 12 Apostles, the focus is often on the men of the Bible, but God’s plan in the new kingdom was to break down the walls that separated people and give importance and influence to everyone, whether male or female. Today on Mother’s Day we honor the influential women in the early days of God’s movement.
